@AmigaPixel:
Yeah, you are absolutely correct. The original amiga RGB cable is 23 pin to 9pin female that would connect straight into the male 9pin "proprietary adapter cable".
I was thinking along the lines of the simplicity of one purpose built cable that connected directly to the monitor from the amiga.
Not a 'hotch potch' of several metres of amiga cable, an adaptor and then a further monitor cable comprising the integrity and I guess the sole intension of "upscaling" to a so called higher definition of video standard as claimed.
The other issue of concern I forgot to pick up on was:
# Auto detection of RGB inputs including RGsB (sync on G), RGBS, RGBH/V and RGBH+V composite sync with sync level above 2 vpp, 75 Ohm.
It doesn't state whether these built-in auto detection features include detection and correction of image positioning to monitor and if the gizmo works in a 'plug n play' fashion of determining what type of monitor is attached to calculate accurately where and how to if so centre the input source.
I mention is because I have several LCD monitor/tvs that when an amiga is connected say via RGB scart the monitor "recalibrates" the image to ensure its best fit and positioning on the screen. However, not ALL of the LCDs I have support this feature OR can get confused resulting in a "jumping" about image*.
So you could find yourself with an offset image. Furthermore if it does have support is it taking into consideration the overscan offsets or just finding the borders of an image to work from.
This may seem like nick picking but it is valid when your sat looking at an image either hanging off one side of the monitor or constantly bouncing about being recalibrated everytime the image changes on the screen. IE: *different DIWSTOP and DIWSTRT positions by the programmer.
Skipster.
